Mesothelioma symptoms are similar to symptoms of other diseases, such as the stomach flu or pneumonia. Mesothelioma is frequently misdiagnosed for this reason. The delay in correct diagnosis carries significant costs in relation to treatment success.

Mesothelioma often does not show symptoms due to its long latency period, which can sometimes last as long as 20 to 40 years or more. It is often diagnosed in later stages of development because of this.

There are three types of mesothelioma: pleural, peritoneal, and pericardial. It is important to know the symptoms of each if you have been exposed to asbestos.

Symptoms of Pleural Mesothelioma
Common symptoms include:
• Coughing
• Fever
• Shortness of breath
• Weight loss
• Back pain
• Coughing up blood
• Night Sweats

Symptoms of Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Peritoneal mesothelioma often carries symptoms such as:
• Swelling
• Abdominal pain
• Fever
• Weight loss
• Nausea
• Bowel obstruction
• Loss of appetite

Symptoms of Pericardial Mesothelioma
Pericardial mesothelioma carries these symptoms:
• Chest pain
• Palpitations
• Shortness of breath
• Persistent cough

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and may have been exposed to asbestos, it is important that you contact your doctor immediately. Timeliness is of utmost importance to ensure the success of mesothelioma treatment.
